Comments

So I will be happy to do a review of this article with this being a five month old nomination, it's properly a good time to attack this one. Not Homura (talk) 09:02, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

The only modification is properly the last sentence with "Georgia, and the Georgian Chess Federation has also hosted.. maybe making Georgia with the Georgian Chess Federation hosting the Chess World Cup 2017.

Bidding Process

Don't see an issue here.

Preparation

It has with an open roof at about 25 m - Remove the an in this part of the sentence.
"has a modern equipment" - Remove the a in this part of the sentence.
"and big Spanish chandelier." - Is their meant to be a between the "and" and "big".
"Some 1,6 million US dollars were allocated" - Meant to be a dot not a comma.
"set aside is allocated for the travel fund for 80 Nations - Remove the "is allocated"

Done The article has been accordingly modified.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 11:21, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The event

"Chairman of the Government of Adjara Tornike Rizhvadze" - Link for Tornike Rizhvadze
"for a record twenty-three times in the 1970–2016 period" - Change "in the" to "between" and drop the period.
"India strengthened with Vishwanathan Anand" - You could change this to "India was stregthened as Vishwanathan Anand" or something simliar.
"who came on the fifth place at the end - Replace "on the" with "in".
"Georgia finished solely on the third place" - Same as the previous comment with the on the to replace by in.
"the podium on the fourth place after", "being only on the 24th place" - Much the same as the last two.

FIDE Congress

"FIDE Congress is taking place during the Olympiad" - Change this tense to past tense,

Marketing

If possible, could you maybe get a picture of either the mascot or the postage stamp that was part of the promotion for the Chess Olympiad.

Done All changes have been made. The picture of the postage stamp in the infobox was formerly part of this section but it later replaced the non-free logo of the tournament. I think it's possible to get a picture of the mascot for fair use only.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 06:52, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Concerns and controversies

Reading the anti-cheat measures in this section, I feel like their is way too much for that single reference that you put at the end of the sentence. Maybe you could try and shrink that section.
"place at the Baku Chess Olympiad concerning the Bulgarian Chess Federation." This sentence is fine but you could maybe change the Bulgarian Chess Federation to the BCF and put the initals when that was mentioned the first time.
"first case the for sanctioning Russian nationals" - Drop the "the" in this part of the sentence.
"Russian businessman against Gennady Timchenko" - Remove the "against" in the sentence.
"FIDE Executive Director Nigel Freeman the next day responded to Ilyumzhinov's statements that the information was untrue by saying that he actually threatened to resign and mentioned three times that he resigned at the end of the meeting." - This needs a reference from this statement.

Done I have found a way to shorten the section on anti-cheating measures and providing a source with a scanned copy of Nigel Freeman's original statement was not a problem either.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 10:12, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Final thoughts

This was a good read, and I see you have been working on it while doing this good so at least I won't have to ping you that it has been completed. Just a few grammar errors here and there but other than that I think this is good enough for a GA. Matt294069 (talk) 09:27, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review. I hope the article now is up to scratch.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 10:14, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That it is, Well done. Matt294069 (talk) 10:18, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
